And she managed to do with it with minimal U.S. television exposure, minimal press and only a brief tour of theatres. She does not play to "the streets," doesn't do slick dance moves or wear outrageous outfits. Although she is still very young, she reads as a much older woman due to her sophisticated styling and her big voice. And most obviously, her physical size puts her at a huge (so-to-speak) disadvantage in terms of her marketability. She seems like a very sweet girl but she's not exactly going to be a Mensa member anytime soon. So what could it be about Adele? Beats me. But I suspect it has something to do with the fact that she presents herself as the antithesis of everything else going on around her; she paved her own separate lane. Maybe that's why Madonna is not succeeding despite all of the marketing efforts; she's caught up in a traffic jam with Britney and Katy.

Speaking of marketing, who was the genius behind Lionel Ritchie's comeback? And how can we hook him up with Stevie? Seriously. Lionel Ritchie was beyond washed up for the longest time. Now all of the sudden he is at the top of the charts again despite the fact that he is well into his 60s. With a country album, no less. Does this mean any artist over the age of 60 has to record country music in order to become commercially successful?

I think Guy Oseary needs to get his sh*t together. Like I said though I think they are more concentrated on tour which is probably going to be one of her best..well hopefully anyway. TBH MDNA is a sucess but measured up against her other work it's not done as well. BUT part of me is kind of glad it is just a great album and far far superior to Hard Candy (Madonna what was you thinking with that album?)

LOL!!! I know I was wondering where he had come from again. He had a TV special over here the other day.
I think Stevie needs to get on the road but outside of America there is calling for her but she just doesn't see it. It baffles me, it really does.
